    Mr Berkins, at the end of your previous blog entry you reference a website I have never heard of: adage.com.

    The “com” doesn’t tell me much about what they do there. If it was adage.news, adage.blog, adage.tech wouldn’t I know more about what the Adage folks are doing?

    All of the sudden I’m feeling starved for information without something more specific right of the dot. The “com” does not tell me anything.

    I call PARADIGM SHIFT on this whole domain thing as of the recent tld application announcements.

    Here is the shift: useful info on both sides of the dot will immediately become the expectation.

    The letters on the right side of the dot become fertile ground. Instead of generic extensions those letters will now get people to click on the links because they have specific info to guide them.

    Consider two links on a page:

    MikeBerkins.law – good idea what is on the website
    MikeBerkins.com – could be anything (if you don’t know the person already)

    I think seeing the new tld links on web pages will be a revelation. The old generic addresses are actually “blind” links in comparison.

    People keep referencing past generic alt extension failures as predictors of the future. Let me posit that the problem is the generic quality itself. Consider:

    MikeBerkins.pro – weak domain because it doesn’t tell me what exactly it is that Mike does

    MikeBerkins.law – great domain because I know what Mike does

    PARADIGM SHIFT
